Healthy People 2020 Update: Violence Across the Lifespan

The US Department of Health and Human Services is hosting a webinar update on the Healthy People 2020 Violence Across the Lifespan section. The session will be April 18th from 12:30-2pm ET. From the announcement:

In the first half of life, more Americans die from violence and injuries—such as motor vehicle crashes, falls, or homicides—than from any other cause including cancer, HIV, or diabetes. Violence and injuries occur at work as well as other settings, and exert a tremendous public health burden across the lifespan.

Please join us on April 18, 2013 at 12:30 p.m. EDT for a Healthy People 2020 Progress Review Webinar featuring the Injury and Violence Prevention and Occupational Safety and Health Topic Areas. This Webinar series focuses on tracking and measuring the progress of Healthy People 2020 objectives.
